Radar Technology and Earth Shape Debate

Some of the things that I witnessed that were very interesting

about radar is that we would be able to track aircraft all the way down to the ground,

and I do mean all the way down to the ground,

at distances of around 100 miles. Now that I know the calculation curvature,

100 miles is 6,666 feet of curvature, of drop.

That is literally impossible because radar works at microwave frequencies,

2 to 6 gigahertz, or even higher, anywhere in the microwave spectrum,

and it is absolutely reliant on it being line of sight,

meaning if you can't see it, it don't work.

When you take into consideration that we're able to track aircraft from whatever altitude they're coming in at,

all the way down to the ground at a target 100 miles away,

and knowing that that target should be 6,000 plus foot below the curvature,

that kind of eliminates the ball model.

Well, you know, in air traffic control, they have two different types of radar.

There's a short range, but airport-based radar goes out to 60 miles,

and then for the long flights and high altitude and off coast,

it can go out to its in-route radar, and it can be 200 miles.

So they can detect targets 200 miles away.

So in radar,

the point is it has to be able to have a direct line to the airplane.

So with regards to the shape of the Earth,

I never thought about it as I worked for 24 years.

You didn't say, wait a minute, I think that target is too low for me to see at that distance.

Nobody ever even thinks about that.

But in reality, now knowing what must be if we live on a ball,

the fact is that at even just 180 miles,

any airplane below 26,000 feet,

if the radar can see it,

the Earth is not a ball, period, end of story.

And does that happen very often?

A thousand times plus a day.

A thousand times plus a day, somebody calls up, somebody comes from offshore.

There's a whole class of aircraft that are not pressurized.

They can't fly above 11,000 feet. The pilot will pass out.

So they operate at and below 10,000 feet no matter what, and no matter what the weather is.

They just can't operate up there.

And there's hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these airplanes still operating all the time.

And so they're coming in at 6,000, 7,000, 8,000 feet from like Bermuda or beyond and say 180 miles from Miami.

And I said, Roger.

And every time they do that, they prove the Earth is flat.

And they don't know it,

but it's absolute undeniable proof.

26,000 and at 200 miles, 29,000.

I mean, a lot of commercial flights are never at 29,000 coming in from 200 miles out. So.
